The Zoned Namespace (ZNS) interface represents a new division of functionality between
host software and flash-based SSDs. Current flash-based SSDs maintain the decades-old …

As Solid-State Drives (SSDs) become commonplace in data-centers and storage arrays,
there is a growing demand for predictable latency. Traditional SSDs, serving block I/Os, fail …

The NVMe zoned namespace (ZNS) is emerging as a new storage interface, where the
logical address space is divided into fixed-sized zones, and each zone must be written …

We present TRIAD, a new persistent key-value (KV) store based on Log-Structured Merge
(LSM) trees. TRIAD improves LSM KV throughput by reducing the write amplification arising …

We present FEMU, a QEMU-based flash emulator for fostering future full-stack
software/hardware SSD research, with the following four" CASE" benefits. FEMU is cheap …

This paper presents LinnOS, an operating system that leverages a light neural network for
inferring SSD performance at a very fine—per-IO—granularity and helps parallel storage …

A longstanding goal of SSD virtualization has been to provide performance isolation
between multiple tenants sharing the device. Virtualizing SSDs, however, has traditionally …

We describe GraFBoost, a flash-based architecture with hardware acceleration for external
analytics of multi-terabyte graphs. We compare the performance of GraFBoost with 1 GB of …

Predictable latency on flash storage is a long-pursuit goal, yet, unpredictability stays due to
the unavoidable disturbance from many well-known SSD internal activities. To combat this …

Today's cloud storage stack is extremely resource hungry, burning 10-20% of datacenter
x86 cores, a major" storage tax" that cloud providers must pay. Yet, the complex cloud …
